Unable to post byte array to webservices (REST) in iOS

Question

I am developing an application which requiers me to convert an audio/video/image file into a 'BYTE ARRAY' and upload that to web services(REST) through a POST request. I am actually using ASIHTTPRequest (ASIFormData) to POST the data. But I could not find any class/method which will allow me to post the byteArray. Is there a way to do this....?

Did you got the solution ? Can you please share ?

You can post any data with ASIFormDataRequest's setData. Here's an example.

ASI will send it as a byte array.

You could create an NSData out of your bytes, and set that to the request using setData:.

setData accepts only NSData object. But i need to send bytes to my server

NSData is just a OO wrapper around byte arrays.

But the backend server accepts only byteArray... Even though NSData is a OO wrapper around byte array, the internal structure of both differ... Any thoughts?

ASI will take care of serializing it while preparing the request body.
